After being a rather prized commodity during the previous January transfer window, it is becoming likely that Ba will find himself moving on to a third club in as many seasons.

Ba has been the subject of transfer rumours. Ben Jefferson of the Express reported recently that Ba is generating interest from West Ham United, the EPL-leading rival Arsenal and the Spanish club Valencia from La Liga.

Arsenal has expressed interest in Ba before, and the player himself even admitted he was ready to join the Gunners during the last transfer window. Instead of dwelling on that and sporting a negative attitude with Chelsea, though, Ba has been a class act.

GOAL DEMBA BA!!! Very happy for him, despite not playing much this season he has never complained and has been a team player. Deserves it.

Beyond his lack of production and time on the pitch, though, what's also hurting Ba's stock in a prospective transfer is that he was not selected to be part of Senegal's World Cup team in the return leg of the play-off:

Nevertheless, the interest for Ba seems high enough, and Jefferson adds that the Blues are in pursuit of Polish striker Robert Lewandowski of Borussia Dortmund.

A £7 million offer is thought to be enough to get Ba out of Stamford Bridge on a permanent basis rather than on loan, per Jefferson.

It seems that both Chelsea and Ba both have one figurative foot out the door with regard to their mutual commitment in the deal they struck just under a year ago. A fresh start is what Ba and the Blues both need to bring catharsis to this situation and for Ba to capitalize on his immense talent yet again.

In the meantime, it seems Ba has gained confidence back in notching his first goal of the season and first for Chelsea in the Champions League.

While Ba's future is determined by front office folk and is beyond his control, he can continue to support his teammates and make the most of his opportunities on the pitch by flashing the talent that landed him with the Blues in the first place.
